[00:00:47]I nodded. 我点点头。 [00:02:38]Sorry about the food analogy — I couldn't think of another way to explain. “很抱歉要用食物来分析——我想不出别的方法来解释。” [00:06:21]I smiled. He smiled ruefully back. 我微笑着。他报以悲惨的一笑。 [00:09:57]You see, every person smells different, has a different essence. “你看，每个人闻起来都不一样，有着不同的本质。 [00:14:46]If you locked an alcoholic in a room full of stale beer, he'd gladly drink it. 如果你把一个酒鬼锁在一间放满坏掉的啤酒的屋子里，他会很想喝酒。 [00:21:49]But he could resist, if he wished to, if he were a recovering alcoholic. 但他能忍住，如果他愿意的话，如果他是一个改过自新的前酒鬼。 [00:29:24]Now let's say you placed in that room a glass of hundred-year-old brandy, the rarest, finest cognac 现在，假设你在房间里放上一杯百年白兰地，最宝贵的，最好的科涅克白兰地 [00:36:22]and filled the room with its warm aroma — how do you think he would fare then? 让整个屋子里都弥漫着它温暖的芳香——你想他接下来会怎么做呢?” [00:42:53]We sat silently, looking into each other's eyes — trying to read each other's thoughts. 我们沉默地坐着，看着彼此的眼睛——努力想要看懂对方的想法。 [00:47:37]He broke the silence first. 他首先打破了沉默。 [00:50:05]Maybe that's not the right comparison. Maybe it would be too easy to turn down the brandy. “也许这个比喻不太恰当。也许克制自己不去喝白兰地太容易了。 [00:56:35]Perhaps I should have made our alcoholic a heroin addict instead. 大概，我应该用瘾君子来代替酒鬼举例的。” [01:02:14]So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin? I teased, trying to lighten the mood. “那么你是在说，我是你个人品牌的海_落_因?”我揶揄着，试图让气氛轻松些。 [01:08:30]He smiled swiftly, seeming to appreciate my effort. Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin. 他很快地笑了，似乎很感激我的努力。“是的，你确实是我个人品牌的海落因。” [01:16:57]Does that happen often? I asked. “这种情况经常发生吗?”我问道。 [01:20:27]He looked across the treetops, thinking through his response. 他抬起头，越过树梢望着远处，思索着他的回答。 [01:23:46]I spoke to my brothers about it. He still stared into the distance. “我和我的兄弟们谈过这件事。”他依然看着远方。
